Fast Food strikers don’t understand ‘Entry Level’ jobs

To listen to Democratic Party interest groups, the key to more full-time jobs at higher wages is either a mystery or only achievable more than five years after one elects Fast-Talking-Democrats to Pass-Fast stimulus and Obamacare laws.

But then there is the actual history of similar experiments that, before Obamanomics made sure the Housing Bust wrought a Great Recession-turned-permanent-jobs-recession; turned WWI into a Lost Generation, a 1929 stock market crash into the Great Recession and Watergate into Jimmy Carter’s triple-double-digit unemployment, inflation and prime interest rates.

The common factors in all four unexceptional American experiences: Liberal Democratic Party-run government with love-for-labor-union overlays. The: latest from: the Democrat mob’s, AFL-CIO-SEIU gang faction:

Seeking to increase pressure on McDonald’s, Wendy’s and other fast-food restaurants, organizers of a movement demanding a $15-an-hour wage for fast-food workers say they will sponsor one-day strikes in 100 cities on Thursday and protest activities in 100 additional cities.

As the movement struggles to find pressure points in its quest for substantially higher wages for workers, organizers said strikes were planned for the first time in cities like Charleston, S.C.; Providence, R.I.; and Pittsburgh.

The protests have expanded greatly since November 2012, when 200 fast-food workers engaged in a one-day strike at more than 20 restaurants in New York City, the first such walkout in the history of the nation’s fast-food industry.

“There’s been pretty huge growth in one year,” said Kendall Fells, one of the movement’s main organizers. “People understand that a one-day strike is not going to get them there. They understand that this needs to continue to grow.”

The movement, which includes the groups: Fast Food Forward: and: Fight for 15, is part of a growing union-backed effort by low-paid workers – including many Walmart workers and workers for federal contractors – that seeks to focus attention on what the groups say are inadequate wages.

The fast-food effort is backed by the Service Employees International Union and is also demanding that restaurants allow workers to unionize without the threat of retaliation.

Yes, before we picket and ask “Would you like fries with that?” one more time, let us first raise taxes and: regulations: on job producers and cheap energy providers, wreck the health care and private health insurance industries,: force fast food companies to reduce hours to part-time, raise the price of chicken to record levels, and re-elect those that accomplished the foregoing. And oh yes, grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants that will work for less than minimum wage…but first…

Hey you scab, you can’t have that Big Mac until Occupy Ronald McDonald House craps on a police car on YouTube!

just fire all but one person. make them work for it. no one will be able to afford to eat there with the new inflation and cost of obamacare. mcdonalds is a high school kids part time job. not a career. but also if they make $15 an hour they will lose obamacare subsidy..lmao

Hey brainiacs go get educated and get a better job then! Figure it out! It’s entry level jobs !im not going to pay five dollars for a fast food burger … Keep it up dumb brainless twits , put everybody out of a job! I want fifteen dollars an hour for bagging fast food! You know how stupid that sounds?

Well if you want 15 an hour then get off your fat asses and work for it like I did. I worked in fast food when I was younger ididnt like the wage I was paid. So do you know what I did? I got off my ass and made a difference for myself.

Jeff, homework assignment. Refute “Jimmy Carterâ€™s triple-double-digit unemployment, inflation and prime interest rates” with liberal talking points relating to your earlier “$15 an hour” inaccuracy. No links to Salon, HuffPo, or Daily Kos. You can use Google searches but no follow through links to the aforementioned sites. Your own thoughts and words preferred. Bonus points for using factual mathematics and statistics.

Not only will they lose the subside, but they’ll find their hours getting cut more and more until they’re out of a job because no one can afford to eat there anymore. Not to mention, as has already been stated, the majority of those employed. By the fast food industry are either in high school or college. I was never meant to bepermanent employment, unless you’re a high school drop out, who never had the gumption to go back to school

I don’t know where they’re getting the idea that raising the wages to something that’s actually livable would force the companies to raise their prices. Raising prices is a choice, and to be honest, without raising any wages, McDonald’s has already raised most of it’s prices nationwide (the few places left that still had a $1 McDouble are now 1.09 or more), increasing their profit even further with no benefit to those that work for them.

I don’t agree that it should be raised as high as $15/hr (that’s actually more than is necessary to live by yourself). But the current minimum wages are not enough to cover many of the necessary expenses (living arrangements, electricity for lighting, heating, water, travel to and from work), not to mention the extreme lack of respect from a great many customers that feel entitled to treat their servers as shitty as possible for reasons i can only guess (some may feel superior that they never had to work such a job, others may just be generally angry, Then there are those that are reacting to the shitty service they received in their visit)

I think that minimum wage for fast food workers is fine. I think minimum wage needs to be raised, but $15 an hour? Here, that is more than most production jobs pay, anything outside major auto manufacturers anyway. I think what they need to do is force the places like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Walmart also, to pay for their employees’ insurance! So that you, me, and everyone else that is going to pay for their healthcare~doesn’t have to pay for their healthcare! At least if they raise minimum wage overall it will force all employers to raise wages and maybe then, everyone could be working for a sustainable wage. Right now, in many places across the country, most people are not getting paid enough to survive.

Those “Hired to Strike” fools are making more money parading than they ever would at a real job! They are nothing but lazy, ineffective trolls who wouldn’t work if they were paid big, big bucks! As for the fast food employees, they don’t need to stay there–its a good job when one is a student, or just starting out–but the door is open for all to advance to something better! Actually, that is the name of the game–advancement to a better job ON YOUR OWN RECOGNIZANCE! No one owes you a big paycheck, and this foolishness about $15 an hour would only reduce the number of jobs available!
